Harry's Prostate: October 2010

http://harrysprostate.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

An account of one man's encounter with prostate cancer. Tuesday, October 26, 2010. So far, so good. My prostatectomy is scheduled for about a month from now. We'll discover the exact time this week. By comparison to past appointments, this one was brief, less than half an hour. It hadn't been necessary to feed the parking machine for three hours. He reassured me that he would be doing the operation. We were wondering about that as this doctor is also an assistant professor working for a faculty of me...

Harry's Prostate: May 2012

http://harrysprostate.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

An account of one man's encounter with prostate cancer. Thursday, May 3, 2012. May 3, 2012. I would like to give a big thumbs-up to the Manitoba Prostate Cancer Support Group. The monthly meetings are very well run, interactive and informative as is the newsletter. The last meeting was particularly germane to my situation because the speaker, Dr. Darrel Drachenberg spoke about new prostate cancer therapeutics. I had a busy start to the year. I've continued to add regular visits to the Reh-Fit Centre.

Harry's Prostate: ADT Still On Hold

http://harrysprostate.blogspot.com/2013/09/adt-still-on-hold.html

An account of one man's encounter with prostate cancer. Sunday, September 29, 2013. ADT Still On Hold. September 17, 2013. My PSA remains below 1 but not by much. The measurement increased from .3 to .66 ng/ml since my last appointment three months ago, still well below the level (5-10) that will trigger a return to Androgen Deprivation Therapy. We will revisit the blood lab and urologist in three months as we continue to monitor the PSA velocity. Map of Northwest Ontario. Hstimson @ shaw.ca. Entry 47 Ap...

Harry's Prostate: On Our Way

http://harrysprostate.blogspot.com/2014/08/on-our-way.html

An account of one man's encounter with prostate cancer. Friday, August 8, 2014. The summer continues to be a busy time for me. I drove with a long time friend to Nova Scotia then flew home in June, drove to Vancouver and back in July, and tomorrow I'm heading out on a paddling adventure in northern Manitoba to commemorate Harcus Strachan, the only member of the Fort Garry Horse to receive a Victoria Cross and for whom. A lake in Manitoba. We expect to be on the water from August 10th until the 22nd.

Harry's Prostate: Lumps and Bumps in Places They Shouldn't Be

http://harrysprostate.blogspot.com/2015/02/lumps-and-bumps-in-places-they-shouldnt.html

An account of one man's encounter with prostate cancer. Friday, February 27, 2015. Lumps and Bumps in Places They Shouldn't Be. In this blog from last January (paragraphs 2 thru 6) for a brief non technical explanation. In my case the volume and velocity are both low and slow (respectively) and the velocity is uncharacteristic in that it is not 'doubling'. Again see above mentioned paragraphs in Entry 66#. So what does this mean? A visit to my doctor confirmed the presence of a lump. He immediately o...

Harry's Prostate: 2014: Fourth Year of the Journey

http://harrysprostate.blogspot.com/2014/01/2014-third-year-of-journey.html

An account of one man's encounter with prostate cancer. Wednesday, January 8, 2014. 2014: Fourth Year of the Journey. January 8, 2014. I had my first visit of the new year to Urologist/Surgeon Dr Jeff Saranchuk yesterday and for the most part it was positive. The PSA # (Prostate Specific Antigen number) was up again. It has trended up over the last 9 months from a low of 0.01 ng/ml (negligible reading) to 0.33 to 0.66 to 0.96 (yesterday's readout). We will see what the new year has in store. Many thanks ...

Harry's Prostate: June 2012

http://harrysprostate.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

An account of one man's encounter with prostate cancer. Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Back to Good News. June 27, 2012. Dr Saranchuk, my urologist/surgeon delivered the good news yesterday during my appointment at the Manitoba Prostate Centre. My PSA levels remain undetectable, six months after my last Zoladex injection. Apparently, I am responding as hoped to the anti-hormonal treatment that is now in the "drug holiday" phase. Distance was 203 kilometers. Hstimson @ shaw.ca. Harry and Margaret Stimson.
